  • Ah, I was drinking last night, and didn’t read the post well enough.

    True, I’ve been in that work situation, where I didn’t fit in, and it was Hell. I got railroaded out of a job at a rural Southern hospital for making friends with a black coworker. I’m a white male. I was “warned” about my new friend by multiple older white coworkers, some department heads. When that didn’t work, I was consistently set up to fail by my boss. I thought about taking it to HR, and threatening to contact the ACLU and the NAACP, but I didn’t want crosses burning in my yard, so I quit.

    And yeah, some people never make it out of High School. They’ll always be teenagers, emotionally.

    I hope you find a job and a group you click with, sincerely. Best of luck.

    I’m an old man.

    So, believe me when I say you just need to put yourself out there, in social spaces, and meet girls/boys face to face, and just be yourself. Don’t put on a false face, a “front.” Just be you.

    It helps to go to places, or events, that coincide with your personality type.

    Don’t give up, don’t take every rejection as a death sentence.

    You can do this.
